Super Smash Bros. Brawl: Difference between revisions

'''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''' is the third installment in Nintendo's cross-series 3D fighting game. It is the only series where Pikmin elements have exceeded a couple of trophies, most notably for the inclusion of [[Olimar]] as a playable character. 

==Olimar & Pikmin==

[[Image:Pikmin 080109b-l.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Olimar and the 5 kinds of Pikmin in Brawl.]]

Olimar is featured as one of the playable characters in this third game of the series, and is on the starting roster (as opposed to being a secret character that needs to be unlocked). Nearly all of his moves involve the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], making him dependent on them. Even the simple "grab", in which the player holds an opponent, requires Pikmin. Up to six of these can be plucked from the ground, the color is randomly determined. The range of Pikmin covers all of those that are found in [[Pikmin 2]] except [[Bulbmin]]. The Pikmin are immune to attacks when they are with Olimar but if they are away from him they can be killed rather easily. Olimar does not take damage when this happens, and each dead one allows one more to be pulled from the ground.

Throw Pikmin that latch on to your opponent! (Except for Purple Pikmin, they just do knockback.)

Call back Pikmin who have managed to separate from you. You can also use this technique to shift a new Pikmin to the front of the line.

So there you have it. Olimar can now jump unlike in the[[Pikmin (game)| Pikmin games]].

There is a stage based on the [[Awakening Wood]], named the ''Distant Planet''. A large [[Red Bulborb]] appear at the right of the screen every now and then, which can eat players (instantly K.O.ing them.) Some human-made objects are visible, such as an[[Utter Scrap| Utter Scrap before]] its crushed stage. [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]] are seen too, and can produce [[Pellet]]s that, when thrown into [[onion|Pikmin onions]], produce items. There is a sleeping Bulborb and a [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]] in the background, but neither of these two do anything. Along with the [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]] on the back ledge. This level can also rain, pouring opponents down to their doom.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the Subspace Emissary, Olimar is first found fighting a giant [[R.O.B.]] without success, from which he is saved by Captain Falcon. The game pairs him with Olimar in his following playable sections. Upon reaching the edge of the Island of the Ancients, they witness Diddy Kong attacking Primids and rescuing Donkey Kong; Falcon and Olimar then join forces with the Kongs.

Following, Olimar and his crew are taken inside the Subspace Bomb Factory. They eventually find the Ancient Minister, along with Pikachu and Samus Aran. Ganondorf suddenly appears and commands the R.O.B.s in the room to detonate the Subspace Bombs in the room so he can create a large enough hole in space to fit a Subspace Gunship through. The Ancient Minister reveals himself to be the leader of the R.O.B.s and, along with Olimar and the rest, escapes from the island before it is sucked into Subspace. All characters then Subspace, with Olimar flying [[the Ship|the Ship along]] side other characters' aircraft.  

==List of Pikmin elements==

A number of music tracks from both Pikmin games are included and are played in various levels, stages and cutscenes.

Brawl features a number of trophies to collect, some of which are Pikmin-related, the majority being various [[Piklopedia|beasts]]; each has a description or information about the Pikmin series in general.  

Olimar's Final Smash. Dusk falls, and his spaceship makes a landing. Olimar takes the Onion, with all his Pikmin aboard, and blasts off for the stars. In Pikmin, native life-forms grew active and violent at night, making it lethal to remain on the surface—this is why Olimar would take his Onions and leave at night. This technique breaks the framework of the game.

A type of Pikmin—which are odd beings who grow like plants yet are as mobile as animals. Red ones are heat and fire resistant and are strong attackers, which makes them valuable when facing dangerous foes. Purple Pikmin are also tough fighters, but since it's difficult to increase their numbers, red Pikmin are easier to manage. Red Pikmin have distinct pointed noses.

A type of Pikmin, much heavier and slower than other Pikmin. When thrown, they impact with such force that they may kill or stun enemies. They're also incredibly strong—one of them can carry an item that normally would require ten Pikmin. While they're more powerful fighters than their red cousins, their slow speed hampers their effectiveness.

An enemy flower and a member of the chrysanthemum family that closely resembles the Margaret flower. This flower feeds on prey and, despite being a plant, performs no photosynthesis and exposes no leaves—just flowers on top. It usually stays underground with only its flowers exposed, waiting to jump out and attack. It also uses rootlike legs to walk around.

A creature whose Japanese name translates as "spotted crimson bug-eye." These bulky nocturnal animals have white-and-red-flecked rumps that resemble strawberries. Red bulborbs sleep in the day and wake in the evening to feed on small animals. Several colors of bulborb subspecies have been discovered—their classification is a hot subject for scholers

A member of the snavian family with a birdlike head and a snakelike neck and body. An underground dweller, the snagret makes sudden strikes aboveground to capture surface-dwelling prey. It uses its beak to sccop up daily nutrition and can snatch up three Pikmin at once—a relatively small amount made deadly by its strike speed. No one has ever seen its tail.

A member of the flint beetle family featuring an iridescent, shining shell that is also prized for its strength. These beetles are packed with nectar and pellets, which they drop when attacked. These can be collected, although the reason for doing so is unknown. Apparently, Pikmin are quite attracted to these beetles—the sight of one will send them running after it.

Stickers are further collectible items in Brawl; the following are the Pikmin-themed ones:

There is a [[:Category:Glitches|glitch]] that can be done with Pikmin & Olimar on Green Greens. Using only red, white, and blue Pikmin, throw them against the yellow star blocks on the left and right sides of the stage. The Pikmin will continue to spin in midair, and any player that makes contact with them will take large amounts of damage. The effects of this glitch can be mulitiplied depending on how many players using Olimar are present.

'''''Warning''''': This glitch will most likely result in a crash if too many Pikmin are thrown. The Wii may refuse to read the disk after resetting.
